Maybe Trump figured out what was really going on.
Maybe not.
Regardless of who is involved I want justice to be served for the victims.
Should be interesting to see what other names come out of the Epstein charges.
I'm just saying that this really shouldn't be a partisan issue... Clearly, both Trump and Bill Clinton were close friends for many years with this pedophile. They both socialized with him. It's a horrible look for both of them right now and they know it. However, only one of them will be running for President next year. If I was a Trump supporter, I wouldn't want the name "Jeffrey Epstein" in the news. I wouldn't be pushing this story to try and hurt Bill Clinton. It's very easy to see how that could backfire. If you are a Trump supporter? You should want this story to just go away.How many times did these tricycles travel back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean?
Everything you say above is assuming that politics is the motivation behind people who want this to get exposure.I'm just saying that this really shouldn't be a partisan issue...

They either don't understand that one of Epstein's alleged victims is claiming that she was assaulted in Mar-a-Lago or they don't understand that Trump's Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta, orchestrated a plea deal with Epstein that broke the law. It's also possible that they do understand these things, and are trying to deflect from Trump's relationship with Epstein by bringing up Bill Clinton ... I have a feeling that is what some conservatives in this thread are doing as well.Judging by comments online to various news posts of the Epstein arrest it looks like there's a bunch of Trump supporters that have been waiting for this to happen and are happy it finally did.
If he cared about cracking down on human trafficking as much as you say..... why did he name Alex Acosta as his Secretary of Labor? Acosta, illegally gave Epstein an incredibly soft plea deal and that was well-known and well-documented at the time of Acosta's nomination. It was a hot topic during his confirmation hearing. What you are saying is not consistent with bringing Alex Acosta into the cabinet. It doesn't make any sense.Y'all jumping on the "we got him now" train might want to get off at this station.
One of the first things Trump did as POTUS was go after human trafficking and all its surrounding nastiness with the full force of the federal government.
The human trafficking issue is where Ivanka serves her advisory role to the President.
Epstein was just arrested on trafficking charges.
I know y'all think the man is dumb...but damn, just damn..show a bit of common sense.
So, it's a "nothing burger" if it has to do with Donald Trump's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein but a legit scandal if it has to do with Bill Clinton's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. That's not partisanship at all.Like collusion, this looks like another nothing burger that Maddow and the rest of the media mafia will be flapping their gums on over the next 16 months hoping that if they repeat their BS often enough some will believe it.
If Trump had even a scent of trouble related to Epstein, don't you think the Mueller investigation would have uncovered it and made a stink about it?And it sounds like he has some of the same problems with Epstein coming... that is classic Donald Trump deflection. He said that because he was aware of how this could be trouble for him as well.

Senate Republicans voted to confirm Acosta out of misguided loyalty to Donald Trump. It was a mistake. The part which I placed in bold is true... and it is outrageous that a prosecutor would enter into a plea deal with a sex offender without consulting with the victims first.I have no idea why he was nominated, but if what Acosta did in Florida with Epstein was illegal why the devil was he confirmed? That speaks to a completely different failure in that system maybe.
I've read that the deal itself wasn't illegal, the fact the victims weren't informed beforehand seems to have been a legal violation by the prosecutor's office.
Was it adeal to allowed him to be tried for lesser crimes? Yep, no arguments there. I never want them to get off easy no matter who they are.
There may be a lot of names come out from this that will shock folks but the Clinton's involvement should come as no surprise. They're involved with NXIVM as well.

There was an inflammatory story on Vox.com from 2016 that mostly went unreported by anyone else. A woman using the pseudonym, Katie Johnson, claimed in a lawsuit that in 1994, Trump and Epstein raped her when she was 13 at an orgy hosted by Epstein. This didn't (allegedly) happen at Mar-a-Lago but rather at Epstein's NYC residence. Katie Johnson (again, not her real name) also claimed in her lawsuit that Epstein had lured her into attending his parties with the promise of money and that he would also help her start a modeling career. She dropped the suit shortly before the election citing death threats. I won't post a link to it, because it was just an unverified claim and the lawsuit didn't go forward, but if you care to read the article... Just Google the headline "The lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old-girl, explained - by Emily Crockett on Vox.com" .... It will be the first link you see.The two of them? Wtf are you reading? Who has mentioned Trump as being an accomplice? It happened at Mar a Lago, thus he banned a fellow billionaire from his club for it. Where are you getting that they were rape buddies in this scenario?
There will be calls for Alex Acosta to be fired as Secretary of Labor. Until that happens? This story will linger.Is this gonna be the new Russia/Mueller/nazi massacre/WW3 obsession from the left that stokes their impeachment hope fires that keep getting snuffed out like a squeaky male dim fart in the wind?
